After 2 doses, observed vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease with the Delta variant reaches approximately 65 to 70% with AstraZeneca Vaxzevria and 80 to 95% with Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty and Moderna Spikevax (3, 4)



So basically they don’t know, because it was 100%, then 99%, then 95%, now they are throwing out ranges as a fricking guess.

In science the more data you have the more accurate you can be.

While they may have had tens of thousands of trial patients that they used to base the 90-95% effectiveness with they now have 50 million people they can use the data for plus a longer observational time.

A new virus plus new vaccinations means a lot of small sample sizes at first so the numbers change as the sample sizes grow, but it isn’t because they “don’t know”. They weren’t lying to you, it’s just what the numbers told them at the time.
